Chapter 17: Pool Party!!

Wazzzzzuuuuppp? This chapter is kinda filled with fluff and stuff that's just cute. Cool stuff! I did attach a picture if what the dude who plays Alan looks like shirtless because, well, because its my book and I can! Plus they go swimming in this chapter so yeahhh!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Relish in the moments they have that are happy and not trouble related because in one of the next chapters (not sure when) something bad will happen! Sorry, I just hate things being absolutely perfect and I just can't have a fake relationship because let's face it, no relationship is ever perfect! Anyways, now that you have that awesome news, enjoy this chapter!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nicole's p.o.v.: Once I got home, I got a group message. I looked and saw it was from Alan. "Pool party at my house?" Is what it read. I was about to tap out a reply when everyone else responded as well. "Sure! What's your address?" -Rachel, "Sounds awesome!" -Scarlet, "OMG YESS! What time?" -Laurange, and "That sounds perfect." -Jeff. I laughed at Lauryns response. I typed out my reply, "Sounds perfect :)"
I went to my room and grabbed a small bag. I put in my towel, bikini, sunglasses, and some sunscreen. I saw a text saying to come whenever you got ready so I slipped on my cotton candy vans, grabbed my car keys, and headed out the door.

*At Alan's house*
I pulled up to his house and saw Jeff's car in the drive way. And where theres Jeff, there's Lauryn! Ever since they got together, they've been inseparable. Its actually kinda cute! I walked to the front door and knocked. Alan's mom, I'm guessing, answered the door. "Hi you must be Nicole! I'm Mrs. Royce, its nice to meet you!" She said, hugging me. "It's nice to meet you too!" I said, smiling. "Well, the bathrooms down the hall so you can change in there and then they're in the back yard!" She said, stepping back and letting me in. I smiled and thanked her before heading towards the bathroom. I stepped in and noticed it was very clean and had towels with the words "guest" on one set and the word "Alan" on the other. I giggled a little. They have designated towels? Ooookay then. I changed into my bikini which, the top was light blue with white polka dots and the bottoms were high waisted and the same color. I sprayed the sunscreen on and tied up my hair in a ponytail and put on my sunglasses before walking out of the bathroom and towards the patio door. I slide the door open and see Alan, Jeff, and Lauryn talking. "WHATS UP LOSERS?!" I yell, when I walk out. They laugh and Alan gets out and walks over to me. "You look really cute." he says hugging me. I giggle and I feel him pick me up. "NO, NO, NO! ALAN ROYCE PUT ME DOWN!!" I yell. "Nope!" He says popping the p. I squeal and he throws me into the cold water. I feel my feet hit the bottom and I launched myself up. As I resurfance, I glare at a laughing Alan. "Okay yeah hahahaha very funny." I say sarcastically. "Okay now help me out!" I say, going to the side and holding my arm up. "Nah I'm not stupid!" He said, once he composed himself. "No, seriously! I don't wanna be in the pool til the others get here!" I say, pouting. "Fine." He said, rolling his eyes and walking to me. Once he grabbed my hand, I pulled him down. Hehe I'm a trickster. I was laughing, but not for long when I was pulled down by my leg! I yelped before I was below surface and was trying to pull whatever was pulling me down off, when I realized it was Alan. I slapped his arm, although it didn't have much effect since we were currently underwater! He smiled before closing the space between us. Ah, kissing underwater, inventive! I couldve stayed down there forever, but sadly, I needed oxygen!! I pushed him off and swam up and gasped for air. He swam up too and we heard an applause. We turned and saw the whole crew standing there. We were blushing like mad men I'm sure. "Y'all do know the water is see through right?" Jeff asked, smirking. "Shut up." Alan muttered. We laughed before stepping out. "So where's the wolf and maze runner?" I ask, sitting on the porch table, across from Rachel and Scarlet. "They'll be here in a few they just had some work to do." Scarlet replied, her accent evident. Oh yeah, I kinda forgot to mention! Rachel's family adopted Scarlet and Scarlet's originally from Australia. Her accent is amazing! I nod and look at the pool and back at the group. "Wanna go in?" I ask. They all nod and we run over and jump in off the diving board one by one. Jeff, Scarlet, and I go in first and determine we shall be judges as to who is the best diver. First up is Lauryn. She runs off the diving board and does a twist in the air before landing into the water. We clap, our posh judge clap. Then, Rachel went. She ran off the diving board and went into a triple front flip before landing in the water, traditional dive style. We clap and Alan steps up. We all swim back a good 2 feet before he proceeds. He runs off, and him being the butt hole he is, he cannonballs. Making a huge splash and covering us in a wave. When we all recovered Jeff muttered some choice words under his breathe to Alan. We were all kinda just messing around when Dylan and Thomas showed up. Scarlet and Rachel squeal before running out of the pool and going over to their boyfriends. The boys say hey before coming into join us as well. It wasnt long after they got there, when I was talking to Lauryn about a song we both loved when I looked behind her and noticed Scarlet and Dylan in the corner if the pool, making out. I fake gagged before telling Lauryn. I swam over to Thomas and told him what we were gonna do. We went underwater and swam to where the couple was. Thomas beside Dylan's legs and me beside Scarlet's. I held up '1, 2, 3' and we grabbed their legs pulling them down. They broke away instantly and turned to loom at us. They looked highly ticked off so Thomas and I took off swimming as fast as possible. We emerged from the water and were met with a fuming Dylan and Scarlet. "Calm down it was just a joke! You probably shouldnt PDA if you don't want to be messed with!" Thomas said and Dlyan just glared at him. "KARAOKE TIME!!" Lauryn screamed, relieving the tension. We all got out and sat at the table. "Who's going first?" Dylan asked. I raised my hand and got up, walking over to the microphones that Alan had. "For this song, I need all my girls!" I said and they cheered before getting up and grabbing a microphone each. We huddled And I told them what song we were singing. We divided the parts amongst ourselves before I pulled up the song on my phone and plugged it into the speakers. The song started and all the boys smiled instantly. Rachel got the first verse
